Rockiestring,
The 3,2,1=6 is a simple process that most of us use to smoke ribs, I personally use a rub.....rub,marinate,or whatever your pleasure. Then smoke your ribs for 3 hours, after the third hour remove the ribs and wrap in foil, some people choose to spray or sauce at this point.....I use the left over rub concoction...sprinkle on....then put back in the smoker for another 2 hours. After that you need or should check your meat for doneness. Sometimes I start to eat mine right then....cause I just cant stand to wait any longer.....or....put em back in the smoker unwrapped for the last 1 hour to firm em up a bit. Ohhh yeah...the (=6 part) I almost forgot the most important part....you need a 6 pack of your favorite beer to help complete the process. Thats it plain and simple...3,2,1, done. Hope that helped you out a bit....have fun and happy smokin.
